I live in a swamp! I put up signs! I'm a terrifying ogre! What do I have to do to get a little privacy?-Shrek-

I have to say that I am so proud of myself with this Party! I only had 1 weeks notice, but my imagination came through yet again! I think the party turned out GREAT!!! I hope you enjoy the pictures and the amount of detail I put into this party.

Decorations

Everything I created ties into the movie Shrek!

﻿

Love this scene in the movie where Shrek Pulls out his ear wax and makes a candle.

Party Favors

Notice that the balloons are only Snakes and Frogs!

This comes from the scene in the movie where Shrek and Fiona grab a real snake and a frog and blow them up to make their own balloons.

Entertainment

Viewing of the movie Shrek and a trivia game.

Food and Drinks

The food and drinks are my favorite part of the party. It was so much fun to make all of the icky foods that Shrek eats! And his choice of beverage just makes me giggle!!!

One reason I love creating parties so much is because they often bring me back to my childhood and I feel like a kid again. This Wizard of Oz party did that for me. The excitement I felt while creating it was un-real; I was down right giddy!! When you look at these pictures I hope you feel like you are traveling over the rainbow to the Land of Oz; where dreams come true.

I tried to be as detailed as I could with all of the food. I think you will crack up with some of them :)

Had to add blue M&M's to the Skittles to get all the colors of the rainbow :)

Follow the Yellow Brick Road Cake

Notice below that the cake inside also had all the colors of the rainbow.

Party Favors Table

If you look closely you will see that the flower arrangment contained Sunflowers and Poppies!!! :)

This year my son wanted a Michael Jackson birthday party. If you know my son, there is no theme more fitting for him. Aden LOVES Michael Jackson. The first time he saw him was when we were watching one of his concerts on DVD, when he was 21 months. Aden quickly started to get his main iconic moves down and was a fan from that point on.
The title of his party is Smooth Criminal because that is his favorite song! I hope you enjoy the party I created as much as I did!!!

Decorations
